Chapter 0674: Cao Cao's ruthlessness

Xu Yu Chiguoguo's threat to Cao Cao: "Move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and the first brother will help you persuade Yuan Shu to retreat, otherwise you will ......"

Xu You's "otherwise" is very simple, if you don't give us the Son of Heaven, we will help Yuan Shu swallow you in one bite. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Now Xu Yu had countless reasons to move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and Cao Cao could hardly find any reason to keep the Son of Heaven by his side.

Liu Biao also stood up at this time, and he supported the Son of Heaven to move to Luoyang. The main purpose of his stay in Yanzhou to help Cao Cao fight against Yuan Shu was to threaten Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to immediately express his attitude, whether to support Yuan Shu's rebellion and plot to usurp, or to maintain Han Zuo's revitalization of Sheji.

After the Battle of Jizhou, Yuan Shao's goal had been achieved. Hebei has suffered a heavy blow, Cao Cao's three alliances have broken down, Yuan Valve's power has an absolute advantage, and now as long as Yuan Shao continues to hold high the banner of Zhongxing, as long as Yuan Shu appropriately retreats, then Cao Cao has to bow his head.

As for Liu Biao and Liu Bei, starting from the maintenance of Hanzuo and the revitalization of Sheji, they can only stand on Yuan Shao's side, resolutely support Yuan Shao, and everyone work together to resist Hebei.

Now Yuan Shao's attitude has indicated that he wants to take the Son of Heaven to Luoyang to revitalize the Han Society, so Liu Biao has no choice at this moment.

Liu Biao stood up in support of Yuan Shao, which was tantamount to telling Cao Cao that if you did not agree to move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, even if you temporarily defeated Yuan Shu, you would not be able to recapture the entire Yanzhou due to lack of financial support.

Liu Biao stood up, and Liu Bei, as a relative of the Han family, couldn't help but make a stand. From the current difficult situation, from the perspective of maintaining Han Zuo, Liu Bei had no choice but to persuade Cao Cao to send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang.

Cao Cao was cornered. Now that Yuan Shu has severed the connection between Xuzhou and Yanzhou, the situation in Xuzhou is currently unknown, but it is highly likely that it has been controlled by Yuan Shu. Qingzhou was occupied by Zang Ba and the Yellow Turban Army again, Cao Cao couldn't retreat to Qingzhou to relieve his breath, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei were forced by the situation to give up their support for themselves.

Cao Cao had no choice. However, once he sent the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, Yuan Shao controlled the imperial system, and in the situation that Yuan Valve's strength now has an absolute advantage and he is in danger, will Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to occupy the Central Plains?

Cao Cao thought it was absolutely impossible. I sent away the Son of Heaven today, and I will lose my head tomorrow. No matter what, he wants to control the Son of Heaven in his hands, in this way, Yuan Shu is always rebellious, and Yuan Shao does not dare to openly support Yuan Shu to attack him, Liu Biao and Liu Bei in order to maintain the safety of Han Zuo to protect the imperial system, they can only choose to stand on their side to contain Yuan Shao to fight Yuan Shu and help them retake the Central Plains.

Cao Cao took out Ma Teng's head.

"I can send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, but I must wait until I kill Yuan Shu." Cao Cao looked at Xu You, who was pale, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course, if Yuan Shao is willing to give me Yuan Shu's head, I can send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang immediately." ”

Xu You was so angry that he trembled, and he couldn't wait to pull out his long sword and slash Cao Cao in the hall. This vile and shameless villain, the most despicable eunuch in the world.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei were dumbfounded, and the shock and fear in their hearts almost suffocated them.

The two closed their eyes in pain, their minds bloody.

So far, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still worship the same Son of Heaven. One of the two is the prime minister, and the other is the captain and general, but one of them unscrupulously kills the Zhenxi general in the court to threaten the opponent, and the other unscrupulously uses the emperor as a tool to threaten. What the Son of Heaven, what the imperial court, what Han Zuo, what Zhongxing, in the eyes of these two people are all bullshit.

Ma Chao is just a twenty-year-old military general in Western Xinjiang, in his eyes, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and his father are all working hard in the same court to revive the Han Dynasty, even if he knows that there is a contradiction between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but in the face of his father's death, can he still clearly see the facts and distinguish between right and wrong?

Is there any difference between the killing of my father, whether it was Cao Cao or Yuan Shao? Now even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao immediately turn against each other and fight in the Central Plains, Ma Chao will also resentful Yuan Shao even more while hating Cao Cao. It was precisely because of Yuan Shu's betrayal and Yuan Shao's encouragement that Cao Cao killed Ma Teng. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, like Cao Cao, are all enemies of Ma Chao.

What's more, now that the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's hands, Yuan Shao will not attack Cao Cao. If he wants to attack Cao Cao, he is a Han rebel, he will be spurned by the people of the world like Yuan Shu, he will betray his relatives, Yuan Shao will never turn against Cao Cao for his own reputation and hegemony.

Yuan Shao has always wanted to dominate Guanzhong, but Ma Teng was wiped out on the Dongguang battlefield this time, and his strength was greatly damaged, unless Ma Teng died on the battlefield, no one doubted that Yuan Shao killed Ma Teng not to dominate Guanzhong.

Of course, Yuan Shao's killing of Ma Teng by Cao Cao's hand was just his clumsy plan to kill people with a knife. Everyone in the world thinks so, and Ma Chao will be no exception.

Now that Ma Teng is dead, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still ministers in the same palace, no matter what reason Yuan Shao uses, he can't explain the reason for killing Ma Teng, and no matter what reason he uses, he can't resolve Ma Chao's hatred for him.

Will Yuan Shao keep a person who is full of hatred for himself by his side? No. Even if Ma Chao is an idiot, even if Ma Chao believes Yuan Shao's words, thinks that Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao, and continues to show loyalty to Yuan Shao, will Yuan Shao believe in Ma Chao's loyalty? Again, the answer is no. Ma Chao is not an idiot, so he must kill Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wouldn't believe that Ma Chao was an idiot, so Yuan Shao could only wait to kill Ma Chao to maintain stability in Guanzhong.

The bloody storm in Guanzhong still inevitably broke out.

Xu You smiled, his smile was a little gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Mengde, you are harming others and yourself." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "I don't even have a small life, I still care about harming others and myself?" ”

He pointed to the head on the table and said to Xu You: "Ziyuan, did you bring this head to Ma Chao, or did I send someone to send it over?" ”

Xu You picked up the head and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I wish Prime Minister Cao Cheng a long life." ”

………………

In late September, Yanzhou East County, Dong'a.

Yuan Shu looked at Ma Teng's head and laughed wildly.

Xu You's face was like frost, staring at Yuan Shu coldly, without saying a word.

"Ziyuan, you secretly went to see Cao Aman from me, but it turned out to be ......" Yuan Shu wiped the tears from laughter while patting his thighs continuously, "Stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, it's a big loss, haha......"

"That's enough...... Xu You was furious, rushed forward and pushed Yuan Shu down, "Chen Liu still has 15,000 people, as well as grain and grass, if you want to capture the Central Plains, now is the time." ”

"Haha......" Yuan Shu lay on the ground, fingered Xu You, and asked breathlessly, "You...... Can you call the shots? Will Yuan Benchu agree? Ha ha...... Yuan Benchu wanted to eat Cao Aman and kill me, do you think I don't know? ”

"Now that Xuzhou is in your hands, as long as you work harder and drive Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei to Qingzhou, then the Central Plains can be obtained." Xu You said angrily, "If you miss this opportunity, there will be no way for Brother Benchu to help you." ”

Yuan Shu barely stopped laughing, staggered to his feet, and said, "What does Yuan Benchu mean?" He helped me like this, he didn't just want to take Jingzhou, right? ”

"It's really not good, only to break the kettle." Xu You leaned into Yuan Shu's ear and whispered, "Cao Cao can rebuild the imperial system, can't you?" Chen Wang and Liu Zhong are not only a grandson today. Liu Pet is now in your hands, you can do whatever you want, does he dare to say a word? ”

Yuan Shu suddenly realized. Cao Cao now holds a Son of Heaven hostage in his hands, and if Yuan Shu rebuilds an imperial system, then Yuan Shao will occupy all the initiative in the blink of an eye. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu must fight to the death, but Yuan Shao can fight left and right, forcing Cao Cao and Yuan Shu to a dead end at the same time, so as to easily occupy the Central Plains, and may even depose the Han Emperor and establish himself as emperor.

Yuan Shu thought for a while, suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, I really obeyed you." ”

"Highway ......," Xu You shouted coldly.

"Ziyuan, do you know that Sun Jian's entire army was wiped out in Guangling." Yuan Shu's laughter was a little mocking and a little sad, "Sun Jian's army failed to go north, which directly led to the lack of troops to attack Xiapi and Pengcheng, and as a result, I have not been able to take Xuzhou so far." ”

Xu You looked at Yuan Shu blankly, stupid.

………………

Yanzhou East County, Linyi City.

It's raining in the Central Plains. After nine months of drought in the Central Plains, it finally rained.

Cao Cao and Yanzhou officials, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, rushed into the heavy rain and cheered. Cao Cao was so excited that he jumped like a child in the heavy rain and rolled in the muddy water until he was exhausted, and then he lay on the muddy ground, howling and crying, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and sorrow that had been accumulated in his heart at this moment.

Liu Bei held a roll of bamboo slips and ran wildly in the crowd like a madman, screaming and roaring hoarsely like a madman. He rushed to Cao Cao, grabbed Cao Cao, and roared at him: "Xuzhou is still there, Xuzhou is still ......"

Cao Cao was so excited that he was dizzy, crying so darkly, he didn't know what Liu Bei shouted at him, he just hugged Liu Bei weakly, and roared with Liu Bei: "Xuzhou is still there, Xuzhou is still ......"

Suddenly, he came to his senses, grabbed Liu Bei's shoulders hard, and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say?" Xuzhou is still there? ”

Liu Bei punched Cao Cao in the chest, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuzhou is still there, Yuan Shu didn't defeat Xuzhou, he is dead." ”

In the big tent, everyone was covered in mud, and they were all wet around Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, looking extremely happy.

It has rained in the Central Plains, and all parts of Yanzhou will be able to implement autumn planting immediately, and as long as they survive this winter, the unfavorable situation will be completely reversed.

Yuan Shu did not conquer Xuzhou, Chen Deng and Sun Qian were still holding the city in various places, and Zhu Ling was trying to open up the connection with Yanzhou, preparing to send grain and grass to the army.

It's still too late. (To be continued.) )
